Maya Klaunzer sends Libre Original (8B)

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I was able to climb the boulder on Tuesday and was super happy because I only needed 4 sessions to climb it. So that was my project for the summer. I climbed Libre soft (7C+) 2 years ago and thought I could never climb the Libre original. I think (according to local climbers and Verticle-Life Climbing) that the boulder has no female ascent yet.
What is your climbing background?
I started climbing when I was 3 and started doing climb comps when I was 12-13 years old. But in my hometown Osttirol I always climbed outdoors and really like to go climb outside. I am in the Austrian national team and that was the first 8B Boulder I ever tried and now already could sendโฆ :)
What is your best competition result?
The IFSC European Boulder Cup in Liรฉbana, with a 7th place in the women category last year :)

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
